Theft. —On last Friday a white boy about 15 years old walked Into the store of D. G. Proctor & Cos., and quietly lifted a pair of shoes from the coun ter that had been sold and wrapped up. The boy gives his name as 11. T. Burruss, aud says that bis parents reside in Fort Valley. He was ar rested and coniiued In Jail. Fire Engine. —We bad thought that the late disastrous Are in our midst, would have aroused ou the port ol our citisens at least a desire to have a Fire Engine. As yet, however, we have heard nothing of the matter. Would it not be well to look Into the question and if practicable, institute a movement in that direction. A Stabbing Affray. —On last Friday two ne groes, Ned Cozart and Charles (ioodrnm, living on the plantation of Mr. Wilder, near Forsyth, got Into a dispute as to the legal right of Charles to Insult Ned’s wife. Charles in order to impress his argument, inserted the blade of a jack-knife about two and a half inches Into Ned’s right arm. Annohnement Extraordinary,--!! is with undisguised pleasure that we announce the depar ture of J. Clarke Swsyze from Georgia. He hon estly earned for himself, in a few short years, a record as buoyant with Infamy and disgrace as Jeffreys did In a long number of years.

Fvrtyth, May IS, IS7S. E. M. Amos. The Fsnce Question.— This question is excit ing some discussion in the county. We have had several communications up to this time, and we Invite a fall and thorough discussion of the mer its of the law through our columns. It will effect the interests ot all In the county and should be well understood. Quite a flutter was created in our town on last Saturdsy afternoon by the appear ance of several young ladies dressed In full riding habit and mounted on elegant chargers. We think the ladies rode exceedingly well consider ing how little they practice. We hope the “turned saddle” nor “ graceful fall ” will interrupt this mode of healthful and pleasant exercise. Habeas Corpus.— Judge Dumas heard, on last Friday, the petition ot Swanu Cochran, (col.) claiming the possession of five young children. His Honor thought that the children were ille gally In the possession of the respondent, hat held that Swann was not the proper person to train them in the way they ahonld be brought up and will therefore apprentice them. Death of as Estimable Ladt. —Mrs. Lucinda Amos, wife of the Rev. E. M. Amos, died in this place on last Thursday. Mrs. Amos was fifty-five years old, and had been an acceptable and consist ent member of the Baptist Church for twenty years. Though an invalid for fitteen years her Christian and domestic duties were never neg lected or forgotten. She bote her severe affliction with nnnsual patience and Christian fortitude. Through the long, wearyjyears of her untold suf fering her virtues grew brighter and more lustrous. By her meekness, tenderness and motherly care she entwined around her heart the tender tendrils of her son’s a nd daughter’s devoted love, and won the respect and devotion of her husband. Her presence will be sadly missed—the days will grow long and weary without her. Her absence will enshroud the household <n a gloom of sorrow, bat the brightness of her virtaee and the correct neat of her examples will light the pathway of her sorrowing ones to a brighter goal. To the family Whose loss has been to groat we tender onr sym fMUefc The Sabeath. —On last .Sabbath morning the sun rose in unobscuretl splendor and love liness. The chime of the church Leila floated With unwonted sweetness upon the blithe some breezes, reminding all ol the wonderful creations and infinite goodness of the omnipo tent One. The day was devoted by many to thanksgiving and prayer, by others to the pursuit of pleasure and gayety. At the Baptist church the Rev. Dr. Hillyer delivered a learned and logical and : coure to a large and appreciative audience. At night the Doctor preached from the text, “It is I ; be not afraid." The sermon was impressive and eloquent, and was listened to by an at tentive congregation. The Rev. D. J. Mytick officiated at the Methodist church, delivering the Memorial Sermon of Mrs. W. H. Hardy. His remarks were founded upon the text: “ And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." Rev. xiv. 13. The life and character, and the probable destiny of this Christian woman, was painted in simple but beautiful language by the preacher; and he frequently, through the progress of his sermon, grew eloquent and sublime in con templating the rewards and unalloyed bliss and glory of a Christian spirit, redeemed from the meshes of these cares and sorrows. At night the Rev. W. H. Hardy delivered to the congregation a very affecting discourse. A Successful Business. —There are proba bly but few of our local readers familiar with the enterprise and progress of the merchants of our town. Asa whole, we believe there is no place in middle Georgia of the same size that possesses more financial brains and shrewd business tact than Forsyth. Promi nent among the most successful stands the name of Benier Pye. Learning a few days since that he was doing a considerable whole sale jobbing business in dry goods, and be lieving the report to be untrue, on Saturday we walked into his store room, when the fol lowing facts were elicited: Reporter—Mr. Toney : I am told you are ! the chief clerk in this department. Mr. T.—l am, sir. I Reporter—ls it true that you sell goods by j the wholesale ? Mr. T.—My duties forbid that I should dis ! elose any of my business transactions to any | one except Mr. Pye. Reporter —Please say to Mr. Pye that I : would like to see him. Reporter—Mr. Pye do you sell goods by the wholesale? Mr. Pye—l do, sir; goods are shipped in quantities to several inland counties adjoining this. Reporter—How can you compete with the Atlanta and Macon markets? Mr. Pye—l advertise, sir, to duplicate all Atlanta and Macon bills, and do it. And this is the “idea," sir; my clerks are cheaper, taxes are not so heavy, rent is less, insurance less, my goods are purchased in New York markets for cash, freights are but a Iraction more, I take less risks, and can consequently compete in prices with the above cities. Reporter—l confess your reasons are plaus ible, but alter all, don’t you lose money ? Mr. Pye—When I do, sir, you will see the red flag hung out, myself upon a hogshead, and the highest bidder can take my goods. I pursue no business that does not pay me. Reporter—What amount of goods have you sold since the first of March, and what did they cost you ? Mr. Pye—l (rather warmly) attend to my own bnsiness, and find that it pays; if you have any, probably it would pay you to adopt the same rule—at least your services are not wanted to look after mine. Do you under stand that idea ? With this axiomatic truth cast in our ears like “rounding brass and tinkling cymbals," we pensive, wandered along, a wiser if not a happier man. Special Tekm of the Superior Court. —Tfiis Court was organized on yesterday morning by Judge Hail. The following U a list of the Grand Jurers empannelled: Tho 9. B. Williams, foreman; J. T. Redding, J. B. Holland, T. G. McGowan, S. W. Proctor, W. C. Lockett, T. F. English, A. D. Tingle, J. M. Hollis, C. O. Goodwyne, W. C. Kicker W. W. Jackson, Benj. Bush, Juo. C. Poe, E. B. Taylor, L. A. Ponder, Thomas E. Chambliss, J. M. Thomas, E. M. Mcore, E. G. McCord, 8. D. Martin, T. J. Fletcher. Judge Hall, in bis charge to the Grand Jury, presented the pofnts clearly and forcibly. There is a lance number of negroes in attendance and much excitement prevails amongst them on ac count of the trial of the murderers of Jim Cleve lacd. They are anxious that the guilty parties should be dealt wita severely. Sine; writing the above the Grand Jury have teturued hills against Lizzie Cleveland and Elias Mitchell for the murder ot Jim Cleveland, and against D. H. Burrough, (a white boy) for the of fence ol larceny from the house. Burrough plead guilty aud was fined fifty dollars and cost, or three months imprisonment in jail. The New Hotel. —On la9t Friday Mr. B. l’ye commenced moving away the rubbish from his burnt block, preparatory to laying the founda tion of hi new building. This building is to be three stories high. On the first floor will be the banking offlee of Messrs. B. Pye & Son; adjoin ing this will be four large store room?, measuring twenty-four by one hundred feet. The second story i? designed for a hotel and will contain thirty-two rooms, a parlor, offlee, bar and read ing room. The basement will be used entirely for culinary purposes and connected with the dining department in the third story by elevators. There will be a handsome corniced parapet roof with a splendid arabesque irontispiece in the cen ter; around this will stand four colums supporting four beautiful urns. This building will be the handsomest aud costliest in onr tow,, when com pleted. Mr. Pye, with his own peculiar mode ol finan ceering, (which, by the way, is always suocessful) will make the investment remunerative. The building will certainly be a great benefit as well as an ornameut to our town. Personal. —We were pleased to meet in cur offlee, yesterday morning, Mr. Geo. H. Hancock, the Editor of the New York Record A Repository, one ol the very best monthlies published in this country. Heretofore this paper has been giving biographical sketches of distin guished men at the North, but latterly they have turned their attention to the most eminent men in the South, and the next issue, which eomts ont on the 12th, will have a portrait of the Hon. John H. James, of Atlanta,with a sketch ot bis life. Mr. H. proposes, in a short time to give a portrait and ekeich of some ot Monroe’s distinguished sons. The Crop Prospect.—\Ne have taken some pains to see several farmers from different por tions of the county, and have interviewed them with the fixed purpose of ascertaining the correct status oi our present crop prospects, and as they yave been men cf judgment and discretion, we think the report is correct. The young corn is growing rapidly—finest stands in a number of yeats —looks green and luxuriant; and it is a remarka ble coincidence that all report the best and fresh est land in com. The cotton is growing cicely and there is no complaint about a sufficient quan tity being planted. Wheat and oats look remark ably well, and promises an abundant harvest. A Grand Basket Picnic.—We are requested to announce that there will be a grand basket picnic and fishing party at McCowan’s Mill, two and a half miles South oi Forsyth, on Tuesday, June 3d. Everybody is cordially invited, and it is expected that the attendance will exceed anything ot the kind that has occurred in a long while. The Atlanta Sun.— Tnia paper gave on the 9th a very fine likeness of Miss Eberhart. Thia evi dence of enterprise on the part of the Sun ia com mendable and praiseworthy. It supplies the pub lic with a correct paruait of a woman who baa created no little sensation in Georgia, for a nomi nal snm, whereas it would have coat thousands to have obtained U la the oi dinary way. Correspondence. Editor Ad*erti*er: We ofler, through '.!.e sued - am cf pour valuable journal, oar < r.agnt’.ulatioa to Brantley’s and Red Bone Districts, and would ask that ourDiatrict be added, to sustain the laud able movement In ‘avor of “No Fence.’’ Agreea ble to statistical information the advantages to be derived are incalculable, aud its results, instead ot being productive of mischief or ill-feeling, will have the tfiect of establishing between neighbors that comity (the absence of which is so much la mented by your correspondent Bourgeois) so much desired by all good citizens The want ot such a permanent law Is generally the source ot animosity at.d litigation by those who ahon'd be as our army, engaged in a common cause. This question has been ably uiacussed by prom inent and intelligent planters; aLd we propose, by your kind permission, Mr. Editor, to copy a tew of the reasons assigned lor a departure from the old custom, and the proposed adoption of the new. The Rev. C. W. Howard, in a recent num ber of tha Plantation, says: “The evil effects ol the preseut fence law may be thus summed cp: “It causes a hazard ot human lite upon our railroads. “It impedes business, by Impeding the speed of railroad trains. It impose j a tax ot one hun dred thousand dollars annually upon the railroads, and through them directly upon the people of Georgia, who, In the end, pay it. “It causes a large area ot laud in the older counties to be thrown out to grow up iu briers and useless bushes. Iu those counties there la not timber enongb to re-feaee the plantations, and where there .s, the negroes will not split the rails. “It thus greatly diminishes the taxable proper ty ot the Btate, inasmuch as thousands of acres ot land now useless would be brought into profitable cultivation, if it were not for the necessity ot re iencing them. “The leuce tax which the land holder pays is tenfold the amount of all other taxes paid by him. ****■*• “The repeal of the fence law would liberate au incredible amouut of li f e and energy among farm ers from the depression caused by their inahililty to work their own lauds, from want of fencing material. “One of the most rapid, and at the same time economical methods of improving land, is to allow its natural growth to fall upon it aud decay. “ Under the existing fence lew, when a piece of gronnd is turned out, it becomes the grazing ground for the neighborhood. Every valuable plant ia eaten out, the grease? are killed, and it becomes occupied by useless bushes, which im poverish rather than enrich the soil. This gra zing ia a legalized theft upon the property of the landholder. “The existing fence law is uneonstituticnal, as It embarrasses the property holder in the peacea ble possession of his own property." These points, suggested in behalf of the State at large, are of course applicable, in some degree, to to our county as an integral part thereof. The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report of 1871, states: “That for every dollar invested iu live stock, another dollar is required for the construction ol defences to resist their attacks on farm production*. Experiment has proved that at least half ol this expense is unnecessary. Whertver it has been tried, wherever farm cni mals are restrained and the owners are placed uu der (Ante) bonds for the good behavior of their restless dependents, the system is regarded with general and growing satisfaction. Capital is re leased lrom unprofitable Investment aud made available for farm Improvement. Soiling Is en couraged, the mannrial resources of stock hus banded, and may be prepared for larger produc tion and higher profit." The cost ol fences in this State is estimated at over forty-jive millions of dollars, aud annual repairs at about $3,500,000. We would respectfully direct the attention of farmers to the consideration of these propositions, in the hope that it may lead to .reflection, If not conviction, ou this important subject. Kelsey’s. Athene* Entertainment. —We have been requested by a committee of the above Society to announce that they will give an entertainment at the Chappel of the Female College, on Friday night the 16th.

About two hundred persons, iuelud.ng many ladies and a number of ctildren, had gathered on the bridge to witness the ceremony. Suddenly, without warning, the bridge gave wy, and precipitated the living freight into the stream Oelow. The scene which ensued was indescribably terrible- As the struggling victims vainly endeavored to free themselves from the ruins ot the bridge and trom each other, large crowds ot people on the banks rushed wildly t j and fro. in my cf them so distracted with terror as is be unable to render any assistance. Others, more self possessed, speedily brought ropes, plauks and boats and went nobly to work to rescue the living and recover the dead. Some of those who were on the bridge wheu it fell were so near the end that they were able to reach the bank without assistance, while others were fortunately within reach ot those oa shore. Up to 6p. m. thirty-two dead bodies had been taken from the river, aad it is almost certain that there are others still under the w reck cf the bridge. Of those Eared twenty-tour were more or lcs injured, some fatally. PiANus— Where to But.—Prices reduced from 15 to 25 per cent. Largest stock in the South to select from.

Medical Blunders. — From the period when surgeons applied their salves to weapons instead of wounds to the present wide awake age, the medical profession has often unwittingly taken aide with Disease in its conflicts with the human system. Even yet, in spite of the teachings of centuries of experience, some physicians believe in depleting their patients, already seriously ex hausted by sickness, with powerful evacuauts, emetics, salivants, cautbaridal piasters, or the lancet. But providentia’ly, public Intelligence is ahead of these medical fossils, wiio belong, of right, to the era ot the Crusade? ! That powerful ally of nature in Us warfare with the causes of sickness, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, has opened the eyes ol the tuasr-es to the paramount impor tance of increasing the vital strength of the body when menaced by disease. They understand that when the atmospheric conditions are averse to health, it is wi&e to reinforce the system with a wholsome tonic and stimulant, and thus enable it to combat and repel the depressing influence of inclement temperature. If the constitutional and animal powers were always thus recruited in the presence of danger, the mortality trom consump tion, bronchitis, chronic rheumatism, etc., woaid be much less than it now is. The causes which produce croups, colds, quineey, diptheria aud ca tarrh, seldom affect a strong and vital system; and of ail vitalizing preparations, Hostetter’s Bitters has proved the most efficient. It is not claimed that this standard tonic is a specific for lung and throat maladies, as it is for dyspepsia, liver com plaint and intermittents, but it is unhesitatingly asserted that it is the best known safeguard against ail the atmospheric elements of disease. Beyond the Mississippi.— Thousands have already gone, and thousands more are turning their eyes toward new homes in the fertile West. To those going to Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, Oregon or California, we recommend a cheap, safe, quick and direct route, via St. Louis, over the Missouri Pa cific Rai'road, which runs its fine Day Coaches and Pullman Sleepers from St. Louis to principal points in the West, without change. We believe that the Missouri Pacific Railroad has the best track and the finest and safest equipment of any road west of the Mississippi, and its connections with roads further West are prompt and reliable. The Texas connection of this road Is now com pleted, and passengers are offered a first class all rail route to Texas, either over the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas R. R., via Sedalia, or over the At lantic and Pacific R. R., aia Vinita. For maps, time taples, information as to rates, routes, &c., we refer our readers to J F.
